...They would pay the women $3,000 to strip naked and serve them beer at their house while they watched mixed-martial arts fights on television. Knapp, 22, declined, but the men kept raising the offer, reaching $7,000"...

The banks aren't paying any interest and the markets have been in the tank so I guess it makes more sense than investing it.

You can throw a Texas rancher and his hired hands onto that list for me.

OK,

We need to hear the back story on this one...unless livestock are involved.

The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse— who can understand it? -- Jer. 17:9

There are many systems of philosophy and political life which try to base law and all human relationships upon the nature of man. Man is made the measure of all things. All such systems, whether communism or humanism, or socialism, are doomed to fail because of one fatal flaw: they do not recognize the sinful, self-centered nature of man.
They ignore God and deify man.

I have two friends that tried out the jobs, and said it wasn't worth the safety issues. Taking any Joe, not trained in the field nor schooled with enough common sense safety knowledge and giving them a job, scared the crap out of them.

Time to import workers from China.

"WILLISTON, N.D. » Christina Knapp and a friend were drinking shots at a bar in a nearby town several weeks ago when a table of about five men called them over and made an offer.

They would pay the women $3,000 to strip naked and serve them beer at their house while they watched mixed-martial arts fights on television. Knapp, 22, declined, but the men kept raising the offer, reaching $7,000."

This is reminiscent of Alaskan towns along the pipeline corridor back in the '70's.

Thank you for posting this thread. After reading it, I flew there from Alaska and got myself a motel room.
